Coal

"China has over 300 more coal power plants in the works, issuing permits for another 52 gigawatts of coal power in just the first half of 2023 alone."

Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT02) joined by Arizona Congressmen Eli Crane and Andy Biggs at Stillwater Mine, Yellowtail Dam, Colstrip, and the CHS Refinery.

Biden's new mercury standards could shut down Colstrip by 2026, if enacted.

The report identifies $37.9 billion in current available funding across a wide variety of departments.

Is this the bill that will help save Colstrip, the coal mine, and the coal-fired power plant in Southeast Montana? Or, will Colstrip shut down anyway, and will ratepayers be left holding the bag?

The coal industry was already hurting before the coronavirus, and the pandemic has made things much worse.

"Saturday, January 4th, 2019 will go down as a dark day in Montana history. On this day, Colstrip Units 1 and 2 will be closed - with the doors dismantled and welded shut."

Well, first off- if coal is dead then why are the radical environmentalists still trying so hard to kill it with lawsuits, regulatory actions, and efforts to block coal export terminals? I mean- if coal is dead, then why are the enviro activists working so hard to beat a dead horse? Maybe it's because coal isn't dead.

Washington state regulators have estimated $20 million in needed repairs for a power plant in Montana raising concerns about the life of the generator.
